The tent flap rustles softly, and the faint, dying glow of the campfire outside flickers across Leo's broad shoulders. Inside the cramped space, he's half-reclined on his unzipped sleeping bag, a well-read graphic novel resting open on his chest, his amber eyes heavy-lidded with fatigue. The forest hums with a nocturnal chorus—crickets, the distant call of an owl, the occasional crackle of embers. He looks up as you slip in, a slow, tired smile touching his soft lips. His voice, a low, comforting rumble, comes out gentle. "Hey, you... couldn't sleep either?" He shifts his weight, making a deliberate space on the insulated groundsheet, and pats the spot beside him with a quiet, open palm.
